Northern Climate Reports
What’s driving landscape change in Northern ecosystems?
In a word, heat: three forms of heat–related phenomena—warming temperatures, thawing permafrost, and increases in wildfire—are combining to change landscapes across Northern ecosystems.
This tool uses climate data to construct a variety of possible futures for a warming North. Choose a location of interest by entering a name, latitude/longitude coordinates, or by clicking on a map.
Data are displayed in narrative and graphical formats. Graph and data downloads available.
(June 2022) This is a public beta, which means that we’re still gathering feedback, testing data outputs and fixing bugs. We’d love to hear from you! Take a short feedback survey, or email us at if you encounter a problem. Sign up for our occasional newsletter to be notified when this tool is launched.
